T-Day

Ah, Thanksgiving. WAY too much food, but what can you do? I thought an 8.5lb bird would be too small – and it was small – don’t get me wrong, but with the ridiculous amounts of other food we had, it was… well, ridiculous. Lessee – we had a brined, deep-fried turkey (brined in 2 gallons of water, with two each lemons and oranges, quartered, a cup of salt, a cup of brown sugar, thyme, and rosemary), stuffing with sausage (prepared separately from the bird), garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, roasted garlic, a yam casserole, biscuits, orange-cranberry dressing, a small Niman Ranch ham, homemade gravy, sugar snap peas, salad, then homemade pecan pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and cookies, with some unfortunately improperly frozen homemade maple ice cream.

Of that, after seven people ate ’till they were silly, almost half the food is now leftovers, which will end up as sandwiches over the next freakin’ week. Tasty.

Tomorrow’s Black Friday, but I don’t intend to get in line at like, 3am. At the most, I’m gonna swing over to EB and see if they still have $20 copies of Doom 3.

Hope y’all had a happy T-day. Tomorrow, I gotta get to work on the GBA game. Dayum. Maybe some GR2, just for laughs, or a trip with the doggius to the beach.
